Mitral valve disease
• Mitral regurgitation in 1.7% of the population,
• 56% of individuals with congestive heart failure.
• MR is a major cause of heart failure and disability.1
• Severe MR compromises left ventricular function,
induces pulmonary hypertension, alters heart
architecture and predisposes to atrial fibrillation.2

Structural vs functional = Primary vs secondary
In primary MR, the valvular incompetence is caused by compromised or structurally disrupted components of the valve apparatus
in functional (secondary) MR the valve is structurally normal, with the regurgitation resulting from failure of coaptation of the mitral valve leaflets without coexisting structural changes of the valve itself.

„Functional mitral regurgitation is a common clinical entity which will likely increase in the future due to predicted demographic changes. It is also associated with poor long-term survival.

CONCLUSIONS: In patients aged 50–65 years undergoing AVR with the Carpentier-Edwards Perimount bioprosthesis, the expected valve durabilitywas 19 years. Age was not a significant risk factor for SVD within this agegroup. Patient selection and attention to timing of reinter- vention may bedeterminants of long-term outcomes.

From 2008 through 2011 (our 4-year study period), 70 Magna valves were implanted in the mitral position at a single institution (the Cleveland Clinic) - Thermofix
90 % of patients were free from significant structural valve degeneration at 5 years

Areas of high stress can induce collagen degeneration that over time could lead to tearing and valve failure1
